To Thine Own Self Be True

All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson

December 26, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

All Boys Aren’t Blue is George M. Johnson’s memoir manifesto. I’d been hearing about it since it was tragically banned in way too many US states. Well, jokes on those haters who are way too obsessed with censorship. It was picked in September for my Mocha Girls Read book club and our Cannon Book Club. Through a series of essay chapters, we learn about George’s life from childhood to now. We learn about their identity issues that started with their name. In early childhood, the […]

All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson

September 17, 2022 by Emmalita 6 Comments

I am pulling from a few recent books to construct this thought about All Boys Aren’t Blue and why this book is necessary. Empathy is a necessary component of understanding that other people have value. Empathy requires imagination and imagination needs at least a few points of reference. George M. Johnson’s memoir manifesto is their story of being black and queer in America. Their story is not intended to be the story, but a story that opens the doors for readers to find their own […]

#CannonBookClub September Book Club Announcement

June 10, 2022 by faintingviolet 4 Comments

Our September Book Club will be discussing Banned or Challenged Books on September 16-17, just ahead of Banned Book Week (September 18-24, 2022). Forty years ago, Banned Book Week began as a response to a sudden surge in book challenges in 1982. With the current push to limit access to books dealing with sexuality, gender identity, and race, we asked you what you wanted to read; and we’ve tallied up the votes for the top three. The books selected for our discussion come from a […]
